The cruise ship continued to move forward following the wind direction.
On the deck of the superstructure, Coles was enjoying the sea breeze while sketching the magnificent sea in front of him.
Sketching is his biggest interest besides training to become stronger.
Although it is not an oil painting with distinct colors, the standard and vivid lines in the sketch and the intersection of light and dark vividly show the scene of a huge ship sailing into the sea with waves surging on both sides.
As the last stroke fell.
This sea sketch is complete.
Coles stretched his body slightly, feeling a little self-deprecating in his heart.
It’s a pity that his name is not Jack, otherwise he might have met love at sea.
But Coles then thought that this was a world of pirates, and even if his name was Jack, he probably had no love, only the appearance of relying on the ship.
After a slight sigh.
Coles put away his drawing board and began to lean on the deck railing to catch the wind.
The destination of this cruise ship is the restaurant on the sea, and on the way there, there are also many entertainment facilities on the cruise ship for tourists to enjoy.
Father Ronald was communicating and chatting with several other wealthy people in the cabin lobby.
My younger sister, Vilshia, was eating some food and snacks in the restaurant.
Apart from becoming stronger and sketching, Coles had no interest in any other pastimes, so he was happy to stay outside all the time.
Half an hour later.
Coles felt a little bored outside, so he walked towards the interior of the cabin.
Decorated in luxurious cabin.
At the very center is a stage, where groups of people are dancing tango to the beautiful music on the radio.
Coles had no interest in this and sat down directly at the table where his sister was eating.
"Brother, do you want to eat?" Vilshia handed over a piece of cake in her hand.
"I'm not hungry for the time being." Coles shook his head.
"Then I'll eat it!" Vilshia put the cake into her mouth, her face full of joy.
"Yeah." Coles rubbed his sister's head and showed a rare smile.
Coles smiles the most only when he is with his family, which is why he keeps getting stronger.
Suddenly.
Coles's eyes fell on one of the men with pink hair.
That's a Marine.
He has an ordinary appearance and a slightly dark skin, but with the navy coat of justice draped over his back, he looks full of vigor and vitality.
In the navy, only those who have reached the rank of second lieutenant can wear the navy coat.
The pink-haired man must have some reason to be proud of being a naval officer at this age.
The officer, wearing a navy coat, walked forward with a good-looking female companion and finally sat down at the table by the window behind Coles.
"Lieutenant Finbudi, are you really from the Navy Headquarters?"
"Of course. My position is a lieutenant in the Navy Headquarters. How can this be false?"
The conversation between the two men reached Coles' ears, and he also knew who this ordinary-looking, slightly dark-skinned navy man was.
The navy that has appeared in the plot.
Double Iron Fists, Finbudi!
…
Rogue Naval Base.
Infirmary.
The bright sunshine shines in from the window, and the sea breeze blows the curtains, bringing a sense of freshness.
In the haze.
Kahn opened his eyes and slowly stood up from the bed. He supported his aching head with his right hand and thought about his current situation.
Crunch!
Maude, who had gone out to get some hot water, walked into the infirmary and immediately said in surprise.
"Major, great, you finally woke up!"
Looking at the white bandages wrapped around his body and the smell of disinfectant floating in the air, Kahn had already guessed where he was.
"How long have I been unconscious?"
Maude put down the kettle and replied, "Major, this is the fourth day you have been in a coma. Fortunately, you woke up today. If you hadn't woken up, I would have thought you had an accident."
With Maude's help, Kahn leaned against the wall of the bed and began to sit up.
"Have all the marines on the patrol ship been brought back safely?"
Maud straightened his back and saluted, "I have lived up to the Major's trust. We have brought all the soldiers back to Rogue Town safely, and the new recruits have also completed the commissioning ceremony."
Hear this answer.
Kahn also put aside his worries and asked, "Where's Coles?"
Maude said, "Coles has taken a temporary leave to go home. He will not be back for three days."
Then, Maude said with a smile on his face: "Congratulations, Major. Your military achievement this time is great. You can at least be promoted to colonel."
"Military merit, Colonel?"
Kahn was full of confusion. Although teaching new recruits was a merit, this little achievement could never allow him to jump from major to colonel.
Mod replied: "That's right! Major, you defeated the Black Cat Pirates with your own hands and killed Bai Ke Kuro. It would be unreasonable not to be promoted several levels for such a great military achievement."
Kill Baiji Kro
Defeat the Black Cat Pirates
Kahn keenly noticed the problem: "You said that many corpses of pirates from the Black Cat Pirates were found on the patrol ship?"
Mod looked at Major Kahn with some confusion and replied, "Yes, that's right. They also include Baiji Kro, who has a bounty of 15 million berries, and the cat brothers Sam and Buggy, who have a bounty of 7 million berries. Weren't these pirates defeated by you, Major Kahn?"
Kahn was shocked.
You know, after he killed Lanros, his consciousness fell into a coma, and the only one left on the patrol ship was the mentally exhausted Coles.
And those pirates from the Black Cat Pirates.
Even Baiji Klo was undoubtedly defeated by Coles!
But given Coles's situation at the time, it was almost impossible for him to defeat the entire Black Cat Pirates alone!
Kahn inquired, "Who did you hear that I defeated the Black Cat Pirates and Kuro?"
Maude explained: "Reporting to the Major, after our sailors fell unconscious, Coles was the only one on the patrol ship at that time."
"And Coles told me yesterday when he woke up. He also fell into a coma afterwards. It was you, Major, who defeated both the Black Cat Pirates and Hyakuke Kuro alone."
Unimaginable.
After he fell into a coma, Coles fought a fierce battle with the Black Cat Pirates in order to protect himself and the navy on the ship.
But didn't he tell Coles to wake himself up because he couldn't hold on any longer
Why did Coles persist all night
Also, why should Coles give him the credit
Kahn was puzzled.
"Are you sure Coles said that himself?"
Maude answered with certainty.
"Yes. I have already given the recorded report to Colonel Smoker. With such a great contribution, you, Major, may even be transferred to the Navy Headquarters."
Navy, headquarters
Kahn couldn't help but turn his head and look out the window. There were some green plants planted there, and on top of them there was a green mantis, constantly jumping among them.
If the mantis is stationary, it is almost impossible to be spotted at a glance.
But for some purposes.
A praying mantis is always jumping around because it doesn't stay in one place.
After a moment's silence.
Kahn nodded and said, "I see. It was indeed me who killed the Black Cat Pirates and Hyakuke Kro before. Go and tell Colonel Smoker that I want to apply for transfer to the Navy Headquarters."
"Great, Major. I'll report to Colonel Smoker immediately!"
Maude was very happy. The major had never been eager for fame and fortune at the Rogue Town Naval Base, and his military achievements had been erased many times due to some things.
In Mod's heart, it has always been his biggest regret that a great navy like Major Kahn was buried in the ordinary East China Sea.
Now that the major has taken the initiative to decide to go to the Navy Headquarters, how can he not be excited.
And as Maude left the ward.
The room gradually became quiet.
Kahn picked up the famous sword given to him by "Dragon" and while stroking the remaining scabbard, he began to think about the future path.
As an undercover agent sent by the Revolutionary Army to the Navy, Kahn has been lurking in the East China Sea, helping the Revolutionary Army to secretly carry out activities and layouts here.
However, because the Revolutionary Army's undercover agent was arrested some time ago, the Revolutionary Army is now unable to obtain the latest intelligence from the Navy Headquarters. Kahn received the latest mission from the Revolutionary Army leader "Dragon" a few days ago.
"Infiltrate the Navy Headquarters!"
The affairs in the East China Sea will be temporarily handed over to another manager of the revolutionary army.
Originally, Kahn was still thinking about how to transfer to the Marine Headquarters smoothly and unobtrusively, but he didn't expect that Coles would transfer the credit of Hyakuji Kro and the Black Cat Pirates to him.
There is no better opportunity than this now, so Kahn just took the credit and accepted Coles' kindness.
Next.
He will be promoted reasonably.
He was eventually transferred to the Marine Headquarters to carry out the latest mission assigned to him by the leader of the Revolutionary Army, "Dragon".

PS: I have already laid a lot of groundwork in the previous chapters about Major Kahn being an undercover agent of the Revolutionary Army.
For example, he was born in Isshin Dojo, he had an expression on his face when he saw the revolutionary army undercover being captured in the newspaper on the patrol ship, and his teaching method tends to protect the weak.
This chapter explains why Kahn, a swordsman-level master, has been hiding in the East China Sea, and why he owns a large sword.
